how do i make a sore throat go away fast?

Question

i just want it to go away fast

Answer 1

If there is a bacterial infection you will need antibiotics, however, most sore throats are viral and do not need antibiotics.

For sore throat pain there are three good home remedies. The first I always recommend to patients is gargling with warm salt water, this strips the mucous off the membranes increases circulation and therby aids in healing. Second, warm lemonade made with honey, again the honey is good for stripping mucous, the warmth increases circulation and the lemon works as an astringent of sorts...also helps in laryngitis and vocal strain. Finally, go to the pharmacy/chemist and get the OTC gargle called Cepastat, as a gargle it gets further down the throat than chloraseptic spray and other OTC throat remedies and has the best analgesic effect of any preparation I have found short of prescription preparations.

Good Luck

Answer 2

Also, this is gross but if you gargle with warm salt water it will kill the bacteria in your throat and help it to heal more quickly. My father made me do this everytime I had a sore throat as a young child and now as adult, I still do it 100% of the time. IT WORKS!!! :)

Using honey etc. will soothe the throat, this will both soothe AND heal you!

CIAO!
